there is no such a thing as an ethical comment. Comments are a cynical deployment of our knowledge of crowd wisdom, media manipulation, and statistics to make people part with their opinions for others they wouldn't think they agree wi

In my comment I’m not proposing that some purchases should be illegitimate. I’m only pointing out that there is an imbalance of power: a company can use a drone strike on your mind, you can defend yourself with a popsicle stick. Good luck.

if that change is the same to every user, then I would start my argument from the position that it is, in fact, different; if the user can tell that something changes because of a new features/changelog that explains it (or lists it fo

It's obviously totally valid not to like it. I once went in person for a qualification and being on one spot on the track was not particularly great, I'm glad I experienced (for the real experience) but I prefer watching on tv whe

Is using speakers still troublesome if I'm using a good mic, with good rejection, close to my mouth? I find wearing headphones pretty tiresome so I avoid them. I never got a complaint about how I sound after getting the mic.

I think this is one of those things that you don't "solve" and it's done. You might be right that things tend to centralize, that's why there is a need for some force to break things apart once the players become to

you might be right, but there are other reason to announce instead of doing: getting leverage, getting attention, being someone that talks a lot and does much less, not having a brain/mouth filter... probably a mix of trying to get lev
